The EVM allows evaluation of operation of the SN65LVDS100/101 or SN65CML100 high-speed differential translators/repeaters. Differential input signals (LVDS, LVPECL, CML, etc.) can be applied and the device output can be observed across on board terminations, or via direct connection to 50-ohm oscilloscope inputs. Single-ended LVPECL signals can also be applied by using the Vbb reference output voltage provided by either the SN65LVDS100/101 or SN65CML100 devices from TI.
Hardware: SN65LVDS100/101EVM or SN65CML100EVM PWB
- Screw-type SMA jacks serve as the I/O connectors
- Banana jacks serve as the DC power input terminals
